Basilica di Santa Croce a Via Flaminia

The engineer Aristide Leonori built the church at the wish of Pius X to mark the sixteenth centenary of the Edict of Milan of 313. Works began on 17 October 1912 and the church opened on 29 December 1913; Giuseppe Palica, titular archbishop of Philippi and vicegerent of the diocese of Rome, consecrated it on 21 May 1918. It was raised to a parish on 19 March 1914 by the apostolic constitution Quod iam pridem and entrusted to the Stimmatine fathers. Paul VI made it a minor basilica in 1964, and since 5 February 1965 it has been the seat of the cardinalatial title Santa Croce in Via Flaminia, which Paul VI instituted. Those are ranks conferred by the Holy See on its own church.
